If the motor had a 58x, the cam sensor would be in the front cover, so that's a dead give away. And no the computer would not run it if it was a 58x on a 24x computer.

Just tune it for how it's setup now, it's that easy. If it's just a cammed motor, tune it like normal. Tune for boost whenever you add boost. You can't do it any other way, so there isn't much to it.

Everything from idle, MAF curve, VE table, spark timing, fueling will have all to be addressed.

I would install a 2 bar map and have it tuned so it will be acceptable for boost and safe, but the NA areas, tuned for an NA cam ect. Will be ready when you put the turbo on. If you're going from a 58x to a 24x, you'll need a conversion box. Can't change that in the tune.
